Fuente Filter
For Beverage Applications
Description
The Fuente water filter is designed to meet the highest
requirements of water bottlers for removal of particles,
cysts, oocysts and bacteria in water filtration applications.
It is a validated, 0.2 µm polyethersulfone membrane filter
utilizing the unique Ultipleat® construction. Fuente filters last
longer and provide high water quality at the lowest cost of
ownership.
